To Clone one scanner to another, 

turn on both scanners. Connect the interface cable to the PC/IF jack on each scanner. *CLONE MODE* UP to send, remove cable to exit appears. Press 

 on

the sending scanner. Confirm send data? 1= YES Press other key for NO appears. Press 1 to send or any other key to cancel. *CLONE MODE* Receiving... and a progress bar will appear
while transferring. When the transfer is complete, *CLONE MODE* UP to send, remove cable to exit will re­appear and you can disconnect the cables.

To Upload/Download to/from your computer,

 turn on the scanner. Connect the interface cable to the PC/IF jack on the scanner. Click on 'Scanner' in the menu bar of the software then 'Upload to

Scanner' or 'Download from Scanner'. *CLONE MODE* Receiving... and a progress bar will appear while transferring. When the transfer is complete, *CLONE MODE* UP to send, remove cable
to exit will re­appear and you can disconnect the cable.

Scanner Reset

 

If the scanner's display locks up or does not work properly after you connect a power source, you might need to reset or initialize it. If you have problems with the scanner, first try to reset it to
retain the memory.

 

Warning: Initializing the scanner will clear all channel memories and reverts it the state it was in right out of the box.

To Initialize the scanner, 

turn off the scanner then turn it back on. Press 0 when the welcome screen appears. 'Please select factory tests. Exit if no key is pressed' will briefly appear. Then

quickly press 1. 'Initialization clear all memory Enter to confirm Clear to exit' will briefly appear. Quickly press ENT to initialize. 'Initializing, Please stand by' then appears. Do not turn off the
scanner while it is initializing. The display should then show M000 on the top line and Bank 0 CH 00 when finished.

Automatic Power Save (97)

 

Your scanner features a power save circuit that is automatically activated after about 30 seconds if you have manually select a channel. The power save mode works by allowing the receiver to
'sleep' briefly while waiting for a call on the selected channel and will also turn the backlight off. The power save circuit is disabled when the scanner is tuned to a channel in program mode,
scanning, or searching.

Using the Repeater Finder Tool

To determine the correct Home Repeater programming, enter the system channels of an LTR system in any order. Be sure to program the mode for each LTR channel to LT. Listen to each
channel one at a time in manual mode and watch for the decoded LTR data at the bottom of the scanner's display. When an LTR transmission occurs, you should see the LTR talkgroup
information on the bottom line of the display, and a number preceded by 'R' in the bottom right hand corner (i.e., R12). The 'R' number is the Home Repeater number that the current transmission
is occurring on. To correctly program this Home Repeater number into your scanner, be sure that the channel number in the bank is equal to the number that is displayed after the 'R'. For
example, if you see R12 displayed on a particular LTR frequency, that frequency needs to be programmed into Channel 12 of the current bank in order to track the LTR system activity properly.

 

How to view these pages in your browsers

I have formatted these pages so that you can view them with any monitor, in any browser (Foxfire, Opera, I.E., or Netscape), at any zoom level, and in any screen area size (ex: 600x800)­small
or large fonts. So if the print is too small, go to the 'view' menu in your browser and adjust it to a bigger level (or smaller if you want to see more on the screen).

 

Finding EDACS LCN order

EDACS frequencies have to be programmed in LCN (Logical Channel Number) order.

 

I have found a procedure at the 

Trunked Radio Systems User’s Page

 which explains how to find the LCN

order for an EDACS system if you don't know the order. Look for 'Finding EDACS Logical Channel Numbers

by Todd Hartzel

 

near the bottom of the page.

Determining Base/Step/Offset for VHF/UHF Motorola Systems

I have found an explanation at 

Radio Reference.com

 that describes how to do this if you don't have the information. The 

Trunked Radio Systems User’s Page

 also has an explanation. Look for

Viewing the Firmware Version

To view the firmware version for the Pro 97/2055 turn on the radio. When viewing the welcome screen press 3. Version 1.01 is the current and only version. No upgrade has ever been released.

 

Finding and reading the date code

The date code or date of manufacture is located inside the battery compartment or on the bottom of the 2055 (Don't rely on the date code on the box). You will see two numbers then a "A" then
two more numbers. The first two numbers are the month and the last two are the year. Ex: 01A05 is January of 2005.
